Jingyi’s animations tend to be more cute and Intermittent narrative. And most of the projects are process led. Animation is a way to express her emotions and explore her inner self, she is keen on the material changes in stop-motion.

At current work, using shadow as her artistic tool, she tries to combine light and shadow with texture in her works now. Her RCA graduation film Secret provides us with a different way of looking at normal life, in the tone of "I", told about the disappearance of a friend. And imagine what if the world is not like what we see.
